Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

Another Scot here that will be voting ''' NO '''

i am proud to be born and bred in Glasgow and i am also proud to be British and be part of the united kingdon ..

nearly every Scot i know feels the same way and will be voting in the same way as myself.

There is no way that this vote is going to go in the direction of a split,,it will be the usual 25-35% that vote for the yes vote..mainly the catholics and the socialists..

God save the queen

Well there are no answers to these because it simply will not happen.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

Once they realise that Westminster will no longer fund them it will die a quiet death, I believe that Salmond thinks he can have it both ways.

Why should they - they don't at the moment.

RC's are around 9% of the English population, and around 16% of the Scots - not exactly anywhere near a majority in either country

btw, there are quite a few Scots-Irish Prods as well.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

I for one think its a bad idea and just wish Salmond would kindly go away.

Such a stupid idea and it would not work. Besides 99% of the Scottish population wouldn't want indepenance anyway.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

This something over indulgent politicians like to raise as an issue it isn't something i think the vast majority of scots either think about or care about and certainly have no intention of changing. Salmond i don't know even by political standards which for me are as low as can be right now just seems slimy and unpleasant he is a one view person who sits hoping for events to turn the world to his personal wants.

I think there is as much chance of scotland voting for independence as there is of a cure for my illness being announced in the next week it simply isn't going to happen no matter how much some up there might want it. But if major IF they did vote yes then fine split whats already there and then not a single penny more going north of the border that happens you'll have another vote within two years for rejoining the union.

Cheers for that, it's like debating with a child, for the hard of thinking I was attempting to say England would cut them loose now and be the first to gain independence not the last.

That isn't another way though as the others don't want independence, even Scotland if the SNP were honest.
